Christian Yoga for Anxiety: 35 min Flow

[@beewilliams6768]

You and your ministry have gotten me through some difficult days like today. Lord, we thank you for Caroline and her gifts and obedience.

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

Thank you for your sweet message, Bee! Sending you love + prayers. I hope you feel deeply loved by God today and everyday!

[@maryraupp970]

Amen

[@kaleighallen1009]

I am beyond thankful for your ministry. I wish there was a way for me to look up how many times I've played a Caroline Williams Yoga video in the past several years. All I know is that it would be a lot! Your yoga and meditation videos have helped me grow closer to God, have helped me let go of things I don't need to hold onto, and have taught me how to take care of all of me: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Thank you, and I pray God continues to bless you, your family, and your ministry, and grow your impact.

[@mjpjakemd9176]

A beautiful time with the Lord, thank you for creating this resource and scared space. God bless. MJ

[@maryraupp970]

I did this yoga practice outside in my backyard, clear blue skies and hearing the birds and watching the trees. This was beautiful. Caroline, you have no idea how much you’ve helped me through the last 6 months! Your words and The Word you speak stick with me and have changed me and strengthen my faith. May God bless you. Thank you.

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

That practice sounds lovely. I'm so glad you had that time on your mat. Thank you so much for your kind words and wishes as well. ❤

[@courtneyjoyfriesen9989]

Today I felt out of balance... Literally and figuratively. I was highly critical of my wobbling, bent knee, stiff places and inability/limitations. In the very act of trying to reconnect with my body/mind and the presence of God there was a tangible barrier... my self critic. SO at the end of this flow I spent extra time on the mat in Gods presence thanking Him for the balance He gives me even when I feel out of step. Although, the yoga flow was not the easiest... the abiding presence of God still ministered to my broken/tight/weary mind/body.

[@CarolineWilliamsYoga]

I love this, Courtney! Thanks for sharing.

Caroline this was such a gift, hearing the word being prayed over me was SO HIM. So much got revealed during this practice about anxiety the choices i am making “i am putting stress on myself all by myself in my thinking as I think without Christ” i love how you said “give ALL thoughts to Christ” such wise words. Thank you for following Christ in making this Practice.

Hi Caroline! I just found out about your yoga videos a few weeks ago. I am a missionary in Taiwan who shares Bible Stories in order to share the Good News here with people who know nothing about God. I am also healing my limbic system with a brain retraining program. I am so thankful to find your videos called, Meet Jesus on the Yoga Mat! This one helped me release some of my anxiety! Praise God that I found you when I needed to!! Blessings to you and your ministry to all of us!

@@seshsampath I thank you for your opinion and I agree to disagree with you.

[@seshsampath]

@@johnrossharbridge8125 Elaborate your arguments why u disagree. I can provide convincing explanation why yoga is not compatible with Christianity. Fundamentally opposite of what Christianity teaches. But you can say you are secular and you like Hindu concepts, then I will accept based on individual freedom. And even if so, don’t call it Christian yoga. Call it just Yoga.

[@johnrossharbridge8125]

@@seshsampath I am a Christian who enjoys the poses of yoga. I have found that this centers me and permits me to focus and find balance. I am a runner who has enjoyed the maximum flexibility that yoga has allowed my body to gain. Furthermore, being balanced allows me to void myself of distractions entering into a deep worship of who Christ is in my life.

[@seshsampath]

@@johnrossharbridge8125 Precisely. Yoga, meditation and breathing techniques of Hinduism is to help you Center yourself and achieve balance between chaos and order. These techniques operate on the truism that there is divinity within you and don’t search anywhere as the truth resides in you. Yoga means achieving unity with yourself. After benefiting from these Hindu techniques, you try to relate to Christianity because that is the society you belong to and you don’t want to upset that relationship. But achieving centrism and union, you have moved away from Christianity which says that all humans are sinners and salvation is possible only by surrendering unconditionally to lord Jesus, the son of God. Why do you need Lord Jesus and his support, if you could Center yourself with Yoga and achieve balance? There is contradiction here. But I Understand the society pressure to merge with your prevailing beliefs. But Yoga, etc, are against Christianity.
